Kahil El'Zabar Ethnic Heritage Ensemble
United States

From Chicago, Kahil El' Zabar and his Ethnic Heritage Ensemble carry the torch of Afro-spiritual jazz. And they've been at it for 50 years.

A teacher, a social activist, a fashionista and a friend of rappers, Kahil El' Zabar is above all a conscience and a poet, whose music invokes the blues and African roots of jazz, while inviting bodies and spirits to trance. Great Black Music!
